Bank Cafe And Bar is located inside the Westin Hotel in Napa. We stayed for spring break so we ate here twice. It's a casual bar and restaurant. The wine list as expected, pack with Napa local wines. They also offer a nice list of Scoth, Cognac, Nourbon, and Tequila that you don't find around here - a 1965 Single Grain Scotch, a 1965 Darroze Armagnac, Hennessy Richard Cognac, J. M Rhums, Pappy Van Winkle 23 year old Bourbon and Chinaco Negro Tequila.
Seating is available both in the lobby Bar and outdoors on the patio facing the nature preserve and the Napa River, and the pool. The menu for lunch was reasonable, however surprisingly they automatically added the 15% tips to the check. I thought that was odd for this finer property.
We came in around noon on a week day, and no one was greeting us. We sat ourselves down, and later someone came by. With only 1 more table near us, at lunch time, the food took quite a while to get out.
Our server was very nice and tried his best to make u have a good time. After he saw us sat ourselves down.
- Steak salad, generous portion, good.
- Clams with bacon, beans, herbs, and broth, it was hearty good but a bit salty for my taste.
- Crab, shrimp, tobiko daikon salad was nice, refreshing, but was also overly salted for my friend. I wish it was lighter, it would be a perfect dish.
On the previous day, at the bar, was busy during the happy hour, we also waited a while before we got our service at the bar. So there's definitely room for improvement on the service here. Note that we were here the day after Easter Sunday.
